A new Italian thriller series, 'Le Onde del Passato,' takes viewers on a gripping narrative intertwining secrets and suspense. Premiering on February 19, 2025, on Canale 5, this six-episode series showcases the talents of Anna Valle, Giorgio Marchesi, and Irene Ferri, promising to captivate audiences with its dramatic and psychological depth.
According to Today.it, the show is described as having "atmosfera tesa e vibrante, tra thriller e dramma psicologico" (a tense and vibrant atmosphere, blending thriller and psychological drama). Set against the stunning backdrop of the Island of Elba, 'Le Onde del Passato' dives deep as it explores the complex relationships between two women—once inseparable friends—who reunite to confront past traumas.
On Friday, February 21, 2025, the series airs its second episode, where Detective Luca Bonnard, played by Giorgio Marchesi, continues to investigate the mysterious death of Marco Zan. The narrative thickens as Bonnard discovers a significant clue: "un braccialetto con simboli particolari apparso in una fotografia" (a bracelet with unique symbols appearing in a photograph), which links the women, Anna and Tamara, to Zan's luxurious yacht, the 'Slang', as reported by Sky Tg24.
The show is not just about the current mysteries but also brings up shadows from the past, particularly concerning Anna's relationship with the enigmatic painter Giovanni who suffers from amnesia after a tragic accident. "This event reduces him to silence, preventing him from disclosing key information about Anna's true identity and her connection to Marco Zan," Mediaset Infinity details.
Aside from the thrilling plot, the character interactions are also pivotal. Anna's mistrust toward Bonnard complicates their dynamic; she harbors secrets about Tamara, which keeps her at arm's length from the inspector. Meanwhile, Bonnard grapples with his past, having lost his wife, and finds himself drawn to Anna, adding to the emotional intensity of the narrative.
Throughout this series, tensions rise as episodes progress, culminating dramatic personal stakes with overarching mysteries. On February 28, the third episode promises to unravel even more secrets: “La moglie di Bonnard ha avuto un ruolo nelle vicende dello yacht?” (Did Bonnard’s wife play a role involving the yacht?), where Anna continues to be threatened, intensifying the plot even more, as articulated by Fanpage.it.
To accommodate audiences who miss the live airing, the episodes are available for streaming on Mediaset Infinity shortly after they air. The series is scheduled as follows:
- First episode – February 19, 2025
- Second episode – February 21, 2025
- Third episode – February 28, 2025
- Fourth episode – March 7, 2025
- Fifth episode – March 14, 2025
- Sixth episode – March 21, 2025
Each episode is expected to last about 100 minutes, providing audiences with ample content to immerse themselves fully within the intertwining tales of drama and intrigue.
With the anticipation building around 'Le Onde del Passato,' it is clear the series taps not only the dramatic potential of its writing but also the emotional connections between its characters. This engaging blend of thriller and character-driven drama could position the series as one of the most talked-about new shows of 2025.
